Raekwon-Heaven & Hell Appreciation

[ISO]

This is my favorite track of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, it flows perfectly into North Star and it give you the sense that the film that is OB4CL is coming to an end. Rae and Ghost are just flowing slowly on this beautiful a*s beat. Blue Raspberry is singing her heart out on this shi*t.

Gimme a minute and I'm with it
Yo nig*as done did it, Rock your vest keep your whip tinted
So now we see him up in Bojangles stranglin' a 40 ounce
With 10 G's worth of gold bangles
Diamonds was all in his face
With his man's mace, medallions the size of dinner plates
Yo he knew we knew him, so we blew him
Took 30 G's worth of jewels off that nig*a
Do em'

The imagery is crazy imagine a nig*a flexin' enjoying his liquor in front of the friend chicken spot and getting robbed for every jewel on his body!

Shout out to Ralph Mcdaniels for doing the video.

 

[Mr. Negative]

why do I remember the video ending with rae and ghost sitting in a limo, Ghost talking to some chick, rae staring out the window?

But I remember always feeling like the TV edit was so perfect that I would always skip to the next song as soon as Ghost said "Know, we-"

 

[LeflaurLeflahEshkoshka]

My fav track off OB4CL too. Love that chick singing on the track. Rae and Ghost collarbs are always dope!

 

[Brayden]

Not my favorite off OB4CL, but its still dope as hell. That whole album is

Yeah, I think it was messed up how Rae would have to watch Ghostface getting some in the car

this was the song of my 7th grade year. Blue Raspberry laid them vocals down on the track and had a young nikka like I legit cried

[Lewis Black]

Just that vibe you know.

first time I ever heard Cuban Linx, this was the track that had me zoning out. All the other tracks before it were cool, but when THIS hit, I was straight up blown away.

The 1-2 punch of this and North Star is powerful as fukk. Makes you look at the album in a totally different light.

 

[Animal House]

Medllions the size of dinner plates

I remember when my mom bought me the purple tape... i wish i had that still

 

[Asicz]

Least favorite track on the LP beat-wise and in general

Just about every song that used this sample is good.
